|Is there a list of available English translated novels out there? I can't seem to find a category here on the encyclopedia, unless I'm totally missing it. D:

|Not sure if there is a list, but the Viz website has all the ones they have released, and I am pretty sure they are the largest publisher of translated light novels in the USA.

I know that someone made a really good list of light novels on Otakuzone that they keep updated(at least it was the last time I was there, almost a year ago)
I'll add the link to this post after I get home (school's blocking me from the site)
I hope it helps

TRSI's novel section covers what novels they can provide. However, it understandably doesn't cover OOP novels that can still be found in various smaller dealers' inventory. Still, as a first pass list, it's a good one.

I would also be interested in such a list. I'm a fan of Boogiepop (I read Boogiepop at Dawn and I'll get to Boogiepop and Others after I make some more progress on my reading backlog) and I own the first Slayers novel. I'm thinking of getting Spice & Wolf or Vampire Hunter D, neither of which would be high priorities with a better selection of titles... (Nothing against either of these, I'm just saying that vampires and wolf-girls aren't my primary interests in literature )
I don't read all that much so I like the fact that light-novels are short but still good reads. I do read a lot of sci-fi short stories, mainly Arthur C. Clarke and Asimov, though (being new to science-fiction, I decided to start with the essentials), so I don't limit my tastes to just Japanese literature, either.

No, that list looks about right, but chances are, you can find fan translations of them. Again, those are just Light Novels, meaning they're anime/manga like novels for the teens
Now, that's just the straight stuff, there are a a lot of other light novels on yaoi and stuff.

Nope. Actually Viz hardly has any light novels. The high castle line (Haikasoru) are sci-fi books, mainly. Though, are rare few are light novels. They did release the Shakugan no Shana light novels though.
DNP is possibly the biggest now but most of their LNs are BL. Yen is not far behind. Though they haven't released many new series as of late.
We've released two light novels recently. ENMA the Immortal and A Caring Man. Obviously the Guin Saga is the proto-LN, also. We've got a handful of Japanese novels this summer... EDGE (by the creator of the RING series, Koji Suzuki), Beat Takeshi's A Guru is Born, Pro Bono, and City of Refuge. But these are a little meatier than light novels.

<.<...I thought Vertical just stopped with all the novels, as they learned it wasn't worth the effort to translate any of them.

LOL... We've released 4 in the last two months. With three more for the rest of the year.

If you are looking for light novels Wikipedia has a good list of them:
Though a lot of these are OOP and some of them only one (or some) of the series ever got published in English.

GOP write-in governor candidate seeks real debate
WATERBURY A candidate for governor on the November ballot as a Libertarian said Thursday that he is mounting a write-in campaign for the Republican line as well as a way to force incumbent Democrat Peter Shumlin to defend his policies and to spark a debate about those issues.
The candidate, Dan Feliciano, laid out five issues he said hed focus on during his campaign: the economy, spending, property tax increases, energy and the need to defend our liberties.
The other announced candidates clearly have little or no idea about where the incumbent governor has gone wrong, or just what they would do to guide Vermont to a better future, Feliciano said at a park in downtown Waterbury.
Feliciano also called for an end to the states movement toward a single-payer health care system. He said hed open up the health care marketplace established under President Barack Obamas landmark law to more insurance providers.
Its just a carnival of incompetence thats taken place here, Feliciano said.
Feliciano launched his write-in campaign less than a month before Vermonts Aug. 26 primary. Republican businessman Scott Milne, of Pomfret, is considered the partys favorite in this years primary against two other candidates who do not have the backing of the GOP establishment.
Shumlin also faces a little-known primary challenger.
State GOP Chairman David Sunderland said Vermont Republicans need to know that Libertarians support radical policies such as amnesty for some people convicted of drug crimes.
Theres a very big difference between Republicans in Vermont and Libertarians in Vermont, Sunderland said after watching Felicianos presentation.
Feliciano said while he is a Libertarian, he doesnt support all the partys platforms. He said he does not support amnesty for nonviolent drug offenders but does support the legalization of marijuana.
I am not for amnesty. Lets be very clear about that: Ive never said Im going to release the felons, Feliciano said.MORE IN Vermont NewsCLEVELAND In an appeal to anxious voters, Donald Trump pledged Thursday night that safety will...

Bleach for Water Purification
I see FEMA, the American Red Cross and others all recommending liquid Clorox, Purex or chlorine as a method for water purification in an emergency. Bleach can be a good method of water purification, except they don't mention that liquid bleach has a shelve-life.
Clorox states on their website that bleach should be replaced every year. This is for laundry use. For water purification purposes, bleach has started to lose its strength at six months. It takes about 4-8 weeks from the time chlorine bleach is made to reach your home. This leaves you 3-5 months where the bleach is at the effectiveness level stated on its label.…Read More...

....Hah, thinking like that is going to get me fired. Or killed.
Disclaimer: Don't own Disgaea, etc, etc.....
As he stood infront of the pedestal, staring up upon the dozens of judges of the Dark Assembly, even Laharl couldn't help but feel a little small. Despite being on Overlord, in all his brilliance and wonder, there was something unnerving about being stared down by so many people at once. No matter, it wasn't like they were going to refuse him anyway, not after the beating he had given them last time.
Arms folded, eyes closed confidently, Laharl nodded his head in confirmation as one of the assembly members repeated his request.
"To review, you want the shop to lower their prices by almost half, yet still sell superior equipment?" A gargoyle asked, reading over a slip of paper in his hands.
"That's right." Laharl answered. "As the Overlord I shouldn't be expected to pay the same amount as others. For the good of the Netherworld I should be fully equipped with the best items available at all times." The young demon said, clearly not seeing the selfishness of his logic. Even if he did, he was still confident that they would not deny him his request. He was the damn Overlord, of course they'd have to agree with him.
There was a murmur of whispering as the judges conversed among themselves, going over the proposal in secret before making their decision. Laharl almost chuckled to himself; What was there to talk about? The faster they passed his proposal the faster he could get out of there.
Hearing the whispering stop, Laharl finally opened his eyes, already anticipating what the general consensus would be. Soon they would agree and he could make out and to the shop, ready to pick up his new things for cheap. Yes, being the Overlord was a glorious thing. The perks were just wonderful. Nothing could stop him no-
The first voice boomed out, causing Laharl to snap from his thoughts. Instantly he glared daggers at the judge who spoke it, one hand flexing in irritation. Well, it was only one, surely the others wouldn't follow the judge's foolish mistake.
Another voice boomed out, jumping onto the table in front of him in defiance.
"What's wrong with these fools? Don't they know who I AM?" Laharl thought to himself in anger.
Another no.
And another.
The young Overlord was literally shaking at this point, the wicked looking axe he had carried into the assembly clenched tightly in one hand. Already he entire assembly has bellowed their disapproval in regard to his affair, and they were standing on their seats, roaring their defiance.
"It seems you didn't learn anything from last time..." Laharl spoke in a quiet menacing tone, his hand already hovering over the "Persuade By Force" button that had popped up on the pedestal in front of him. Not waiting another second, the Overlord slammed his fist down onto the button, destroying it, and the pedestal in his blind anger. Axe held out the ready, Laharl leaped over the ruined remains, dark energy charging through his body. With vicious roars, the senators also leapt forward to meet the Overlord, itching for payback.
Outside, Pleinair, the blue-haired receptionist closed her eyes at the sound of a massive explosion ringing from within the assembly. Used to such things, she pressed a button on the banner beside her, sending out a signal for a crew of clean-up Prinnies. Already knowing that the Prince was inside and no doubt the cause of the commotion, the entire assembly would probably need to be cleaned of unconscious bodies and remodeled.
Silent as usual, Pleinair resumed her post, eyes still closed as the horrible sounds of battle waged on behind her. Such was the work of a receptionist.
Minutes later, Laharl exited the assembly, axe hefted over one shoulder. He didn't even pay attention to the group of Prinnies that scurried in past him, carrying stretchers and hammers and such. He himself hadn't been harmed at all. Even if they didn't treat him like one, he still possessed the monstrous power of an Overlord; The carnage within would prove that to anyone.
Even though he had beaten down every last one of those ignorant fools, the young demon was still royally pissed off. It had been a long time since he had ascended to the rank of Overlord, yet most of the older residents still didn't treat him as such. To them, he was just Prince Laharl, son of the late King.
"How dare they! I'm the damn Overlord for crying out loud! Disagreeing with me, trying to fight me, who do they think they are! I'll tear the entire assembly down next time!"
Muttering darkly, Laharl stomped past the hospital, not bothering to go to the shops despite having had his bill passed.
"Something wrong, Prince?" Zommie, the Zombie that always seemed to hang out in front of the hospital piped up as the young demon walked by.
Stopping in his tracks, Laharl turned at the voice. "I told you, call me Overlord now!" He growled out, not having the drive to explode with anger like he normally did.
"But 'Prince' suits you so much better." Zommie replied, not showing the least bit of fear towards the boy.
Laharl was about to open his mouth and argue, but instead he slammed the axe he was carrying down onto the floor, creating a rather large crack in it.. "Yeah, yeah, that's how everyone feels, huh?" He said with a scowl, arms crossed.
Not even seeming to care about the Overlord's feelings, Zommie merely piped up cheerily. "Yup! You'll always be our little Prince." He said happily, though there was a certain fondness for the late King's son behind his words.
Noticing Laharl still sulking (and his answer not having the desired effect) the Zombie couldn't help but pipe up again.
"Cheer up, Prince. Your father wasn't the most popular Overlord either when he first took the throne."
Laharl had begun to tune him out when he said 'father', but the rest of the words reached his ears and he couldn't help but look up in interest. That was new. Whenever people spoke of his dad it was always about how great, or how powerful, or how amazing of a ruler he was. Hearing this from one of his father's former subjects was surprising.
"Really?" He inquired, trying to sound as disinterested as possible. "Yup!" Zommie replied eagerly, head bobbing as if it were about to fall off (being a decaying corpse, chances of that happening weren't too unlikely)
"When you father first started out, people didn't take him seriously either. He was strong, sure, but that wasn't enough to make people fully accept him as a leader." The Zombie began his story, only to be interrupted a few seconds in.
"Well why not?" Laharl asked while trying to pry his axe from the deep crevice in the ground. "An Overlord is the strongest demon in the Netherworld, right? People should fear and respect them for that." The Prince said, giving a grunt as he carried on with his task.
Already having anticipated the Prince's response, Zommie continued. "Well, yes, but sometimes it takes more than strength to get people to follow you."
"Like what?" Laharl questioned, both hands gripping the stuck axe as he pulled, face set in concentration.
"Well, for one, even though he had power, he didn't go around beating on everyone like a certain Prince now." Zommie answered, ignoring the glare Laharl shot at him. "He'd listen to other's request when they came to him, he kept his composure and own request reasonable. If there was a problem, he tried to fix it. If something was threatening the Netherworld, he rose up to fight was there for his people, and after a time, they came to respect him and truly see him as the Overlord." Zommie finished his monologue, head nodding once more as he looked torwards the Prince.
Only to see that his tale had fell upon deaf ears.
"GOT IT!" Laharl yelled triumphantly as he finally freed the axe. The momentum of yanking it free carried him a few feet back, but he caught himself at the last moment and held it up in victory.
"Nevermind." The Zombie said, something akin to a sigh escaping his rotting lungs.
"Hey, wait, I heard you!" Laharl said while swinging the axe over his shoulder. "Be there for the people, listen to them, yadayada." He repeated while looking at the Zombie. "But people don't even come to me asking for help. How am I supposed to do that when they still only see me as the 'little Prince'?" He asked, echoing Zommie's words from earlier.
"They don't see you as a grown-up. Maybe that's why. Make them see you as so." Zommie replied, seeming to have lost interest in the conversation. He was now focused on peeping around the corner at the Ronin who ran the hospital.
"And how do I do that?" Laharl asked, eyes narrowed.
"Dunno'. Figure it out." The Zombie shot back, his helping mood over as he carried on with his peeping.
Realizing he wasn't going to get anymore out of the Zombie, Laharl turned on his heel and made his way back to his throne room.
"Make people see me as an adult, huh...?" He questioned himself as he walked throug the castle. The best way to make someone see you as an adult......he was at a lost. Well, what did his father have that he didn't? Thinking back on it, Laharl touched a hand to his chin as he pondered. Something his father had....something his father had.....
Suddenly, the Overlord stopped, an answer popping into his head.
"THAT'S IT!" He yelled out, startling a nearby Prinny, causing it to trip and subsequently explode.
Not noticing (or caring) about the casualty he just caused, Laharl picked up his pace to the throne room. There were two people he needed to see.
"Alright, I got you now!"
"Oh really? Then how about this!"
"What? A surprise attack! But I still have this left!"
"Oh ho, not bad, but take this! Finishing strike!"
"NOOOOOO, not again!"
"K.O. Winner: PLAYER 1!" The television boomed out as one of the virtual characters on screen went flying into the horizon. Two demons sat in front of the T.V, one, the Fallen Angel, Flonne, and the other, the Demon Etna. Game controllers were gripped in their hands, but by the way Flonne loosely held hers, it was obvious she had lost.
"That's five time now Etna...you're really good at this..." Flonne sighed with a weak smile as she put the controller down.
"Yup. Five losses, that mean you owe me five packs of pudding." Etna responsed with a devilish grin, happy at her winnings.
"Ah, but there was this new 'Dark Chef' DVD I wanted to buy...." Flonne said dejectedly, knowing she was going to lose a lot of HL soon.
"Too bad, not anymore." Etna said casually as she turned the game off, cutting short the victory dance her character had begun to do.
The two were interrupted by the door to the throne room bursting open suddenly. Laharl, axe still in hand, entered, face set ahead as he made his way to his grand chair.
"Oh, Laharl, hi!" Flonne said happily to the young demon as he stomped past her.
"Hi Prince, what's up?" Etna also greeted him, although in a much less friendly way.
Ignoring them both, Laharl let the axe fall lazily to the floor as he sat down on his throne, legs folded like a child and eyes still set dead ahead. Flonne and Etna watched him curiously. There were very few things that made Laharl completely silent, so that meant something big was bugging him.
"Uhm, Laharl. Is something wrong?" Flonne asked tentatively, leaning forward slightly.
"......" No answer.
"Hellooooo, Prince?" Etna piped up, waving one hand in front of him.
".........." Still no answer.
Shrugging her shoulders, Etna gave up there. If he didn't want to talk then she wasn't going to waste time trying.
"Laharl, are you alright?" Flonne questioned again, more persistent than Etna. Worry was written clearly on her face as she gazed at the Overlord, awaiting some kind of response.
".........." Yet again, no answer. He just kept staring ahead in that focused manner.
"Leave him, Flonne. If he wants to be moody, let him be moody." Etna said, sitting in front of the television again.
"I guess, but..." Flonne mumbled, not really wanting to give up.
"Oh c'mon, let's play again." Etna said flipping on the console and starting the game up. "Let's go double or nothing. If you win, you won't have to buy my pudding and I'll buy that DVD for you." Etna offered with a wide smile, as if knowing she'd win already. It seemed to do the trick as Flonne turned around quickly, practically scurrying over and snatching up her controller.
"Okay then!" She said, the fire of battle burning in her eyes as she selected her character. The temptation of the DVD being too much to resist.
Laharl still sat silently, oblivious to the various noises coming from the game as the two played. Even though he had decided on his course of action, something was still holding him back.
Meanwhile, Etna bit her lip in a worried manner as the third round begun. She had managed to win the first round, but Flonne, through an amzing combo that surprised even her, had depleted his life bar enough to send her flying in the second match, winning. It seemed that the Fallen Angel was quite determined this time, and the thought of losing wasn't so far fetched now. Fingers moving skillfully as the two played, a fierce battle waged between their virtual avatars as the match went on. Flonne seemed to be in her element, the special meter was full and she had Etna backed into a corner. The only thing left was to execute the start-up move and then she could win.
Unfortunately, Laharl chose that time to speak up.
"I need a wife." He stated in a matter-of-fact tone, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Wha-?!" The words took Flonne by surprise, and she dropped the controller in shock. Not missing the oppurtunity, Etna pushed forward, throwing Flonne's character into the air then finishing her off by punching her straight to the moon.
"K.O. WINNER: PLAYER 1!" The game boomed out, signaling her victory.
"Yes! That still counts!" Etna said with another grin, as she looked over at Flonne, who's face still had surprise written all over it.
"F-forget that. Did you just hear what Laharl said." The former Angel stuttered out, turning to look at the Overlord who was still sitting there as if h had said nothing surprising.
"Oh, that, yeah." Etna replied in nonchalance, also turning to look at Laharl. "Awww...is the Prince finally growing up?" She cooed with a smile, teasing the young demon.
"Shut up, I'm serious!" Laharl yelled back, face lowered into his scarf slightly. Saying it again seemed to take some edge off of him.
Realizing that Laharl was not joking around, Etna's grin also dropped, but an amused look still remained on her face.
"Oh really? What's all this about then? Has the young Prince finally opened up his hearts to the wonders of love~" She purred again, still having fun teasing him.
"S-shut up! It's for....political reasons! Yeah, that's it! Political reasons!" Laharl snapped, jumping up onto his chair before regaining his composure and sitting down again. Crossing his arms and closing his eyes, the Overlord began to explain the reason behind his sudden need.
"In order to get people to see me as more of an adult, I decided I need a wife to boost my image." Laharl said with a nod of his head, figuring his explanation was satisfactory."So, I've decided that one of you two will be my wife. How lucky one of you will be to stand next to the Great Laharl!" He finished with jumping up again for dramatic effect.
Of course, logically speaking, he could have simply picked up some random vassal and forced them to be his wife. Not like they could deny his request seeing as how he was the Overlord and could easily smear them off the face of the universe. But, for some reason, that didn't please him. Flonne and Etna were powerful in their own rights, so that was reason enough to have one of them by him to improve his image, but aside from that, the overall familiarity he felt around them would also make things easier.
"Uhm...Laharl. I don't think it works that way...." Flonne said weakly, still shocked at the sudden outburst. Even someone as dense as her could see the faulty logic behind his way of thinking. "In Celestia, marriage is supposed to be something between two people that love each other dearly, not something you use to make people respect you." Flonne said while clasping her hands together, warmness emitting from her words.
"We're not in Celestia." Laharl said sharply, quickly stopping her before she went on with a long tirade. "Look, I need a wife and I need one soon. So which one of you is it going to be!" Laharl questioned hardly, though it came out as more of a demand. He didn't care which one it was really, the marriage would only be in name and title, which is all he cared for.
"Laharl, something like this really can't be decided so suddenly....It takes time and-" Flonne began while holding up a finger, trying to talk sense into the young Overlord, only to be cut-off suddenly by another voice speaking over her.
"I'm for it!" Etna said while raising her hand and grinning wickedly.
Flonne and Laharl made noises at the same time, both turning to look at the red-haired demon.
"Why are you so eager?" Laharl asked, cautious at her quick response. With Etna, you could never tell her true intention, and he wasn't about to let his guard down.
"I'm curious too, Etna. I had no idea you felt so strongly towards Laharl..." Flonne said in wonder, head tilted sideways like a lost puppy.
Still grinning, Etna put her hand down as she answered them. "It had nothing to do with love. If I can't be the Overlord myself, why not the next best thing?" She said simply, causing both Flonne and Laharl to sweatdrop. "Just think of all the perks that would come with being Queen. I'd pratically be the Overlord myself." She continued, eyes shining with greed. Like Laharl, Etna was only concerned about her own benefits in the matter, namely title and status.
"Of course, that would be reason enough for you..." Laharl said wearily, a part of him already knowing that would be her main motive. Flonne on the other hand seemed to feel differently on the subject, however.
"How terrible. That isn't what marriage is about." She said with an indignant look on her face at the two's disregard for such a holy ceremony.
"So what?" Etna said back. "Demons in the Netherworld do it all the time, it's no big deal here."
"Yes, but that doesn't make it right!"
"Why are you getting so upset. It's not like you have to do it. I said I was fine with being the Queen."
"Who said I'd choose you!"
"But still..."
"I'm don't see what the big deal is, being Queen is fine with me."
"Are you listening? I haven't even chosen you yet!"
"I think I'd be more suited for Laharl!"
The room went silent and the arguing ground to a dead halt. Both Laharl and Etna turned to look at Flonne, who, seemed to have just realized what she said, clamped both hands over her mouth.
"Awwwwwww...how sweet! Our little Angel has finally admitted her feelings~"
"And why's that?" Laharl asked, this time his had tilted in curiosity.
Realizing the two weren't going to let her words go, Flonne took in a deep breath before clasping her hands together and speaking again. "Because...because me and Laharl share a special bond. If anyone should be his wife, I'd be happy to." She spoke her piece, sincerity seeping from her words.
Too bad Laharl didn't seem to feel the same way.
"Like hell we do!" He shouted, loud enough to cause Flonne to snap out of her trance and step back a few paces.
"But Laharl." She began with a frown. "If we don't, why do you still wear my pendant?"
"Because I haven't gotten around to throwing it away yet!" Laharl snapped, despite his words making no sense. He had been wearing it for ages now, plently of time to dispose of it if he really wanted to.
"This is cute and all, but I'm not just going to let you become Queen." Etna interuppted, one hand on her hips. It was a title she wasn't going to let go of so easily.
"But you only want it for power!" Flonne protested back, hands held up in disagreement.
"Yeah? So what?"
"It's not right!"
"Who cares? We've been over that."
"Marriage should be between two people who care for each other!"
"That's not how it works her in the Netherworld, Flonne."
"Even so...."
"So what's the problem?"
"You should just...."
"WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP ALREADY!" Laharl boomed out, eye glowing and hair standing upright. His loud voice carried the desired effect and the two broke off their arguing promptly, turning to look at the Prince.
Folding his arms and calming down, Laharl closed his eyes and stood up from the throne.
"I've decided." He began, and both girls looked at him expectantly, waiting for the outcome of his decision.
"Since the two of you can't decide between yourselves, I've made up my mind."
"And....?" The two asked in unison, waiting for him to get to the point.
Turning around and picking up his axe, Laharl hefted it over his shoulder before turning back and around and making his way past them. Standing with his back tot he pair, the young demon closed his eyes in a conclusive manner and gave his answer.
"I'll marry you both."
Letting the two grapple with their confusion, Laharl began making his way torwards the door. He had a sudden urge to go kill things, maybe gain a few levels if he felt like it.
"But Laharl-"
"You can't do that!"
Two voices spoke out behind him.
Not even bothering to turn around, Laharl reached the door an opened it.
"Of course I can." He said. "Because I'm the OVERLORD!"
And with that, he stepped outside, slamming the door behind him.

This invention relates generally to couplings, and more particularly concerns a flexible strap connection adapted to quickly couple relatively small diameter lines to larger size well pipe.
There is a continuing need for effective devices to rapidly couple pressure lines to well tubing as the latter is run into a well. Such lines must be retained closely adjacent the tubing so that they do not become severely damaged during running of the tubing into or out of the hole. Prior known connector devices for this purpose do not embody the unusually advantageous features of construction, modes of operation and results as are now afforded by the present invention. Among these are low-cost, one-piece construction, ease and rapidity of application to the well tubing, and disposability.
Basically, the invention is embodied in a coupling that includes:
A. a lengthwise elongated flexible strap, and
B. a keeper connected to the strap,
C. the keeper having a recess at the inner side thereof and extending through the keeper in a transverse direction relative to the length direction of the strap,
D. the keeper having a through socket to pass the free end of the strap, and
E. there being means carried by the coupling proximate the socket to positively interlock the strap to the keeper in response to feeding of the strap through the socket.
As will be seen, the keeper and strap may be of one-piece molded plastic construction; the keeper or buckle may have a cross-piece at the outer side of the socket, and the interlock means may advantageously include ratchet interlocking elements on the cross-piece and strap in the form of transverse serrations on the outer side of the strap and inner side of the cross-piece. Further, the recess may have trapezoidal cross section in lengthwise planes normal to the strap, whereby the elastomer holder for the auxiliary line or lines may be resiliently compressed inwardly and sidewardly in response to make-up of the coupling about the pipe. As a result, the interlock of the strap and cross-piece ratchet serrations is energized to achieve positive interlock. To this end, the keeper may be provided with a "downhill" ramp surface inwardly of the cross-piece and angled to urge the strap toward the cross-piece in response to endwise tension in a direction tending to loosen the coupling.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention, as well as the details of an illustrative embodiment, will be more fully understood from the following description and drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is an elevation showing the environment of the invention;
FIG. 2 is a front elevation showing a coupling embodying the invention;
FIG. 3 is a section on lines 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged section taken on lines 4--4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a plan view on lines 5--5 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 6 is an end view on lines 6--6 of FIG. 5;
FIG. 7 is an enlarged section on lines 7--7 of FIG. 3; FIG. 7a is another view like FIG. 7; and
FIG. 8 is a fragmentary section showing attachment to a well pipe, and FIG. 8a is a line section.
FIG. 1 illustrates one highly advantageous application of the invention, there being well tubing 10 extending in a well 11 cased at 12. A surface-controlled subsurface valve unit 13 is connected in series with the tubing. Merely as illustrative, U.S. Pat. No. 3,035,808 describes one such sub-surface valve unit, it being understood that there are many forms of such valves. The function of the latter is to control the upward flow of well fluid in tubing such as 10, pursuant to the presence or absence of sufficient control pressure application in a small control line or lines 14 extending from the surface alongside the tubing to the valve location. Typically, in the presence of such control pressure transmission, the valve unit remains open to pass well fluid to suitable well head equipment 15 that includes a production line 16 which is valve controlled at 17; however, should sufficient control pressure fail to be transmitted, inadvertently or otherwise, the valve unit will close, providing for positive shut off or well production. A control pressure supply means is shown at 18, and may be connected by line 19 to the well head casing 20 that receives the production flow, to use the pressure of such fluid in the generation of control fluid pressure. Accordingly, if surface valve 21 in line 19 is open, pressure is supplied to the sub-surface valve to keep it open, whereas if valve 21 is closed, the sub-surface valve will close. These considerations apply to one unusually advantageous application of the invention, there also being other applications. FIG. 1 also illustrates the use of apparatus for connecting the control pressure line 14 to the relatively larger diameter well tubing, such retention apparatus taking the form of couplings generally designated at 23. The latter may be coupled to the tubing at locations, as shown, just above the joints 25 that interconnect the individual tubing lengths or stands, so as to minimize the time required for running the tubing into and out of the hole. It will be understood that the smaller control line (or lines) 14 is also typically made up by end-interconnecting sections thereof, using threaded couplers, as the tubing is run into the hole.
Extending the description to FIGS. 2-7, the coupling 23 includes an elongated, flexible strap 26 and a keeper 27 connected to the strap at one end. Typically, the strap and keeper are of one-piece, relatively stiff molded plastic construction, one such plastic material consisting of polyurethane. The keeper has a recess 28 at its inner side, the recess extending through the keeper in a transverse direction, i.e. relative to the length direction of the strap. In FIGS. 1 and 3, the recess extends vertically. The recess is advantageously trapezoidal in cross section, as indicated by the side walls 29 and 30 flaring outwardly away from the innerwall 31. As a result, when the keeper is coupled about convexly curved outer wall 32 of pipe 33, as seen in FIG. 8, the keeper flexes, resiliently, and the side walls 29 and 30 tend to relatively approach one another (i.e. the recess width narrows) to compress the elastomeric holder body 34 between walls 29 and 30, and also increasingly clamp it against the pipe outer wall. Note the auxiliary pressure conduits 140 and 140a passing lengthwise through the control line holder body 34, in FIG. 8. The dimension "X" between the inner wall 31 and the surface defined by keeper flats 35 and 36 engageable with the pipe is approximately the same or slightly less than the uncompressed radial dimension X1 of the body 34, as seen in FIGS. 2 and 8.
The keeper also has a through socket 38 to pass the free end of the strap, during tightening of the coupling about a pipe. That socket is typically formed by and between a cross-piece 39 extending tranversely at the outer side of the socket, and by the keeper ramp surface 40, inwardly of that cross-piece. In this regard, the keeper also includes another ramp surface 41 and an outward facing crest surface 42 interconnecting the two ramp surfaces 40 and 41. Surfaces 40 and 41 flare relative to surface 42 at lesser angles than side walls 29 and 30 flare relative to inner wall 31. Surfaces 41 and 42 are sunk slightly into the keeper body, to form a continuous channel, with strap edge guide walls 43 and 44.
Finally, means is carried by the coupling proximate the socket to interlock the strap to the keeper in response to endwise feeding of the strap through the socket. Such means may, with unusual advantage comprise ratchet interlocking elements to prevent loosening slippage of the made-up coupling, and in the example such elements are defined by transversely extending ratchet serrations 45 on the innerside of the cross-piece, and ratchet mating serrations 46 on the outerside of the strap. Such serrations have saw tooth cross-sections in lengthwise extending planes normal to the strap face, and their overall lengthwise extent on the strap is several times greater than their extent in that direction on the cross-piece, as is clear from FIG. 3. Accordingly, a wide range of adjustability to different size pipes is preserved. Inasmuch as the cross-piece faces the "downhill" extent of the keeper (with respect to the leftward direction of feeding of the strap through the socket), i.e. downhill ramp surface 40, the strap serrations 46 tend to be urged by the ramp surface 40 toward the cross-piece serrations 45, in response to rightward pulling of the strap in FIG. 8. Such rightward force on the strap results from tensioning of the coupling about a pipe, to retain the holder body 34 in compressed condition against the pipe outer wall. Such interaction is further facilitated bu the close sliding fit of the strap to the surface 40 and serrations 45. Accordingly, the lock-up if the serrations is self-energized, to prevent inadvertent release of the coupling.
When such release is desired, the coupling may simply be severed crosswise, and disposed of, the inexpensive construction of the coupling enabling such usage. Further, disposability facilitates the construction of the lock-up to be irreversible, positively preventing release until such time as the coupling is severed. Reliability is thereby assured. Impact of the curved outer surface 50 of the cross-piece against the casing inner wall tends to resiliently compress the keeper, and to prevent release of the ratchet teeth interlock.
FIG. 8a is a section through an electrical line or cable 60 that may be used in place of line 14, to communicate between a sub-surface actuator or sensor, and surface electrical equipment. Other communication lines may be used, so long as they fit within the recess 28.
Finally, the plastic material of the coupling 23 may contain comminuted iron particles, or other magnet attracted metal, distributed in the molded plastic in sufficient quantity as to enable the coupling, or part thereof, to be fished out of a well as by a wire line suspended magnet. FIG. 7a shows such iron or ferrous particles 80 distributed throughout cross piece 39.

Print HTML More than 100 BBC presenters will have to give up freelance contracts that could help them cut their tax bills, according to reports from the Telegraph. The broadcaster has allowed more than 6,000 employees to be paid as though they were "personal service companies", meaning they can be taxed more lightly, the newspaper reports. These freelancers include Fiona Bruce, Gavin Esler and Emily Maitlis. After a review of its freelance arrangements by Deloitte, the BBC said today that it could move 131 people onto staff contracts after their freelance deals have expired. Hovever, it added that there was "no evidence" that it had helped aid tax avoidance. Earlier this year Newsnight's Jeremy Paxman said that the BBC had asked him to set up a private company in order to receive payment. › How pay inequality has soared BBC presenter Fiona Bruce, who was named by the Telegraph.

The first Google Tag Manager plugin for WordPress with business goals in mind.
Google Tag Manager (GTM) is Google's free tool to everyone to be able to manage your analyitcs, PPC and other code snipetts using an intuitive web UI.
This plugin can place the necessary container code snippet into your website so that you do not need to edit your theme files. Multiple containers are supported!
Google Tag Manager for WordPress (aka GTM4WP or GTM 4 WP) builds a so called dataLayer variable for you. Using this you can manage your tags very easily since you can fire them using rules that include
Use search data to generate Analytics events when an empty search result is being shown. This is useful to see what people are searching for that is not available on your site (for example a product).
Use post count to generate Analytics events when an empty result is being shown. This can be useful to catch empty (product) categories.
Yaniv Friedensohn showed me a solution that can add the GTM container code after the opening body tag for almost every theme without modifying the theme files:
I added this solution to the plugin, currently as an experimental option.
Users of the Genisis Framework should use the "Custom" option but without altering the theme. The Google Tag Manager container code will be added automatically.
Data is provided using the WhichBrowser library: http://whichbrowser.net/
Add the current weather conditions into the dataLayer so that you can use this information to generate special remarketing lists and additional segmentation in your web analytics solution:
Weather data is queried from Open Weather Map. Depending on your websites traffic, additional fees may be applied:

The plugin can track user interaction with your embeded media:
It fires dataLayer events when a media player was being loaded on the page, when the media is being played, paused or stopped. It can fire dataLayer events when the user reaches 10, 20, 30, ..., 90, 100% of the media duration.
Note: the plugin can only track media that was being embeded using the internal oEmbed feature of WordPress. No 3rd party embedding plugin is currently supported.
Fire tags based on how the visitor scrolls from the top to the bottom of a page. You can track this as Analytics events and/or fire remarketing/conversion tags to if you want to track micro conversions. Separate readers (who spend a specified amount of time on a page) from scrollers (who only scroll through within seconds)
Scroll tracking is based on the solution originally created by
Original script: http://cutroni.com/blog/2012/02/21/advanced-content-tracking-with-google-analytics-part-1/
Google Tag Manager for WordPress can add every dataLayer variable as an AdWords remarketing custom parameter list. Using this you can create more sophisticated remarketing lists.
To increase security on your website, you can whitelist and blacklist tags and variables. This means you can disable certain tags from being fired or prevent the use of certain variable types from being used regardless of your current Tag Manager setup.
If your Google account is being hacked that is associated with your Google Tag Manager account, an attacker could easily execute malware on your website without accessing its code on your hosting server.
By blacklisting custom HTML tags and/or custom JavaScript variables for example you can have a more secure Tag Manager container if you do not use those kind of elements.

The Lonesome Heroes hail from Austin by way of Brooklyn. As such, the group touts themselves as country music with a psychedelic slant. They are neither as epic nor stoned as the Flying Burrito Brothers or the Beachwood Sparks, but hints of Mazzy Star and Galaxie 500 shoegaze meanderings are present. The Lonesome Heroes' haze is closer to sunstroke when objects start to take on a wobbly, oil-slicked outline. On the EP Don't Play to Lose, Rich Russell details the cold, hard country facts with a steady lead guitar and punctuated vocals while Landry McLean's highly polished resonator and heavy lap steel reverb create a watery distortion that floats through each track. The resulting layered fuzzy contrast is what drives their sound. The tracks "The Moon and the Sun" and "Oyster" highlight McLean's haunting and captivating vocal that sound like she snuck away from the campfire in the middle of the night to record. The five tracks are not enough to determine if the Lonesome Heroes can by carried by more than McLean's steel, but keeps you adequately interested to see what will come.

Energy Efficiency Is Winner After Fukushima, Impax's Simm Says
Energy-efficiency companies are the "stand-out" winners after Japan's atomic-power disaster that resulted from the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, Impax Asset Management Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Ian Simm said.
Rising oil prices, political unrest in countries from Libya to Bahrain and Germany's retreat from nuclear energy after Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima Dai-Ichi suffered a reactor meltdown have boosted interest in environmental markets, a sector that includes efficiency, renewable power and water management, Simm said today in a telephone interview.
"Energy efficiency is probably the stand-out winner," Simm said. "The payback periods on investments reduce significantly as the oil price goes up. The logic is that everybody has an incentive to save money when oil is over $100 a barrel."
The FTSE Energy Efficiency Index has risen 33 percent in the past year, outstripping a 20 percent gain in the Standard and Poor's 500 index. The takeovers of Landis+Gyr AG by Toshiba Corp. and of Telvent GIT SA by Schneider Electric SA are "very strong signals" that companies whose products cut energy use in factories, homes and vehicles are attractive, said Simm.
Schneider, the world's biggest maker of low- and medium-voltage electrical equipment, yesterday agreed to buy Spain's Telvent for about 1.4 billion euros ($2 billion). Japan's Toshiba last month said it will pay $2.3 billion for Swiss electronic-metering company Landis+Gyr.
Schneider, Zurich-based ABB Ltd. and Siemens AG in Munich all stand to benefit from Germany's May 30 decision to shut its nuclear-power plants by 2022, Simm said. That's because of improvements that will be needed to the electricity grid in Europe's largest economy, he said.
"Taking a large percentage of baseload power off the German system within 10 years is going to require a quite significant policy change to reduce energy consumption,'' Simm said. "The biggest beneficiary in the short term will be energy efficiency. There will be benefits for anybody in the grid industry."
Impax, which invests in renewables, waste treatment and water, today said assets under management increased 30 percent to 2.36 billion pounds ($3.86 billion) in the six months through March 31. The shares rose 1.6 percent to 64.75 pence in London, the biggest gain in 10 weeks.
The company's 380 million-pound Impax Environmental Markets Plc investment fund has returned about 6 percent over the past year.
